SAMPLE BUILDING MAINTENANCE PLAN (BMP) – IEQ TEAM (www.mcps.k12.md.us/departments/iaq)

INTRODUCTION
Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) is committed to addressing indoor

environmental problems relating to air quality. A major component of this commitment is the
establishment of an IAQ Preventive Maintenance Team. This Team will help to achieve
MCPS indoor air quality goals, which are:
To achieve, maintain, and where necessary, to restore an indoor air quality

environment in which everyone in a Montgomery County Public Schools
(MCPS) facility can perform the necessary tasks of learning, teaching,
administering, and sustaining facilities in a safe and healthy manner.
The measures utilized by the team to improve air quality will rely on proactive steps to
improve building maintenance and training of staff, rather than responding to complaints.
The existing complaint and response process has been retained to ensure that IAQ problems
that may arise are handled efficiently and effectively.
Another primary effort of the Team is the initial creation of a building maintenance plan
(BMP) specific to this school. This plan is equivalent to a user manual for an automobile. It
contains all the necessary routine maintenance schedules, maintenance routines, logs of
work orders and repairs, as well as other relevant records. As such, it is a living document
that is tailored to the maintenance of the school.
This following BMP is specific for Alpha Elementary School and is designed to be utilized as
a tool with the building service manager as the focal user of the tool. Other staff and outside
users are expected to contribute to the ongoing growth and accuracy of this living document
to ensure its success.
This document, along with the building service procedures manual and the accompanying
EPA Tools for Schools kit, are key instruments in maintaining conditions at Alpha Elementary
School which would greatly reduce the incidence and severity of indoor air quality concerns.
It also provides guidance in addressing issues as they may arise for quick and successful
resolution for minimum impact on our primary task of the success of the students and staff of
Alpha Elementary School to their full potential.
If you have any questions regarding this living document, its use, or any other environmental
and/or safety issues, please do not hesitate to contact your environmental safety coordinator
at 301-926-4317.
Thank you,
Richard Hawes, Director

BUILDING DESCRIPTION
Alpha Elementary is a split-level, slab-on-grade facility containing 30 classrooms, a multi-

purpose room, gym, IMC, administrative offices, two resource rooms, one math lab, one
speech room, and two reading initiative rooms.
Substantial additions and/or modernizations to the original building (opened 1965) occurred
in 1992.
Most of the roof is built-up asphalt. Some areas of the roof are pitched shingled.
BUILDING INFORMATION
Grades served: K-5

Enrollment (2004): 650
School Capacity: 678
Original Construction: 1965
Last Modernization: 1992
Site Size: 9.9 acres
Square Footage: 68,755
HVAC SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Two gas-fired low-pressure fire tube type boilers heat the building. The two-pipe-system
distributes heater water to unit ventilators/fan coil units located in classrooms and offices.
The temperature of the main heating loop for the building is controlled by Energy
Management. Classroom temperature is controlled by individual thermostats. The
pneumatic air station located in the boiler room sends a supply pressure of (15 psi in winter
and 20 psi in summer) to all thermostats for proper operation.
The kindergarten rooms K1 and K2 have individual air handlers. Energy Management
controls the kindergarten temperature by operating the 3-way valve for the air handler. The
administrative offices, health room, media center, and computer lab have roof-top units for
heating and cooling. Those units are controlled by Energy Management.
Building-wide cooling is by an air cooled chiller except for DX cooling in the following zones:
1, 3, 4, 6, 7, & 8. The chilled water is distributed to each classroom unit ventilator/fan coil
unit.
Ventilation air is connected to the Andover Energy Management System that controls the
starting/stopping of the HVAC systems at the beginning and end of each occupancy period.
The HVAC equipment is operated from the thermostat controls within the building during the
occupied period. Roof-top units and air handlers are controlled by energy management.

GENERAL
A central air compressor usually supplies compressed air for pneumatic control systems. Air in the
system must be clean and dry; pressure is reduced to 15-18 psi depending on pneumatic system age.
Intake air is passed through a screen filter. Compressed air is passed through a check valve and then
an oil filter.
Standard high-pressure air from the compressor is passed through a pressure-reducing valve (prv)
where its final system pressure is adjusted to 15-18 psi.

General Description
Type of Unit: 2 Trane (#CG101) Air Cooled Reciprocating (R-22 refrigerant) chiller
Size: 100 tons each
Chiller Operation
The chiller is operated only when the building is occupied. It is cycled automatically with temperature
sensors in the return water from the building. The chilled water temperature is set at 450F. The unit is
started 1 hour before building occupancy to bring space temperatures to an acceptable level. The unit
is operated for cooling purposes and provides some dehumidification capability. The chilled water
circulation pump is to be operated whenever the chiller operates.
General Maintenance
The Division of Maintenance performs all maintenance of the chiller system. The Building Service
Manager is required to keep the area around the chiller clear of debris on an as need basis. During
summer operations, the Building Service Manager must confirm and record temperature of chiller water,
water conditions and check for unusual noises on a daily basis. A form for recording those activities
follows.

SECTION 7 BUILDING SERVICE STANDARDS
The frequency of specific cleaning tasks has been itemized in the MCPS Procedures Manual. A copy
of chapter five follows and items requiring special attention are highlighted.
The work of the building service staff consists of many tasks. The sum of these tasks, when properly
carried out, should result in all areas of the building and grounds being adequately cared for.
The Routine Task/Work Performance Guides on the following pages establish the frequencies for
normal cleaning. The frequencies given were determined through building surveys, inspections, and
conferences with personnel performing and supervising cleaning tasks.
Any major variations from the standards should be brought to the attention of the building service
supervisor, who will investigate the matter and make recommendations for action that should be taken
to resolve the problem.
Items that have been added to the standard Building Service Standard Checklist as found in the MCPS
Procedures Manual, are listed in a separate chart at the bottom of each page with recommended
frequencies indicated with an ‘REC’. Changes to the frequencies of tasks on the standard checklist are
indicated with a ‘REC’.

APPENDIX B SAFETY & ENVIRONMENTAL GUIDELINES AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) is committed to providing a safe and healthful environment
in support of the Success for Every Student Plan. Therefore, the following information is provided to
reduce the risk of injury and the risk of environmental factors, which can adversely affect the quality of
the learning environment.
The State of Maryland, which has adopted federal occupational safety and health regulations
promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), regulates MCPS. The
state regulates MCPS through the Maryland Occupational Safety and Health (MOSH) plan within the
Division of Labor and Industry. Applicable worker safety and health regulations can be found in 29
Code of Federal Regulations, Part 1910 (available at http://www.osha.gov). Questions related to worker
safety and health should be directed to the Building Service Supervisor or the Safety Supervisor,
Department of Facilities Management.
If you have any questions regarding a potentially “unsafe” or “unhealthful” condition, please contact your
supervisor immediately to report your concern(s).
If you have any questions regarding the following information, an environmental safety coordinator can
be contacted at 301-926-4409.

I. TEACHER CHECKLIST B-8
A. TEMPERATURE AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY
Temperature and relative humidity are significant in investigations of indoor air quality complaints.
When temperatures or humidities are outside the comfort zone, complaints about poor indoor air quality
or discomfort will increase. Students, teachers, and administrative staff tend to become less tolerant of
odors and other indicators of “poor air quality” at elevated temperatures and extreme relative humidities
(and also less tolerant of non-IAQ stressors such as noise and overcrowding).
B-1

Additionally, to minimize foot discomfort, the surface temperature of the floor should be between 65 –
84°F. The following American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE) table represents optimum and acceptable temperature ranges for typical classroom
environments:
Season Optimum Temperature Range

Temperature (90% satisfaction criterion)
Winter 71 F 68 – 75 F
Summer 76 F 73 –79 F
Other than clothing, there are no adjustments for season or sex (male/female) to the temperatures of
this table. For infants, certain elderly people, and individuals that are physically disabled, the lower
limits of this table should be avoided.
This table was derived from the ANSI/ASHRAE 55-1992 Thermal Environmental Conditions for Human
Occupancy.
MCPS has adopted the Board of Education’s energy conservation guidelines for temperature, which is
70°F in the winter season and 76°F in the summer season. Media centers and computer labs have a
75°F criterion for the cooling season and 70°F for the heating season.
The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists recommend maintaining relative
humidity in the occupied space below 60% throughout the year in their “Guidelines for the Assessment
of Bioaerosols in the Indoor Environment.” Humidity levels that exceed 60% will present a significant
problem related to the potential for increased microbial growth. Based on the ANSI/ASHRAE 55-1992
Thermal Environmental Conditions for Human Occupancy guidelines, the relative humidity levels should
be in the ranges listed below:
Season Relative Humidity Range
Winter 25 – 60%
Summer 20 – 60%
B. CARPET REMOVAL PROCEDURES
Maintenance of carpet as recommended in the above section should ensure a complete life cycle for
carpet in all but the most extreme use cases. When carpet can no longer be returned to acceptable
conditions and represents an unacceptable risk to the quality of the indoor air environment, the following
procedures should be strictly adhered to: (Note: This procedure should only be performed during non-
occupied periods.)
B-2

A. Day One Activities
1. Determine work area.
2. Turn off local unit ventilators in work area.
3. Wipe all removable items using damp cloth.
4. Remove wiped down items from the work area.

6. Install floor tile.
7. Damp mop completed tile floor and wax (3 coats).
8. The HEPA negative air machines should remain operating to facilitate the new floor drying
process.
9. Start replacing furniture/materials in the work area.
C. LOCK-OUT/TAG-OUT
When employees are working on a piece of equipment (electrical, moving parts, energized systems,
etc.) it must be locked out. Employees who are cleaning or performing maintenance where a body part
could be injured should be using a “lock out tag out system”. The lock out system will physically stop
the piece of machinery and render it safe. A tag is attached to notify other fellow employees that
someone is working on the equipment and not to start it up. State occupational safety and health laws
require these procedures be performed in accordance with a written Hazardous Energy Control
Program.
All employees shall have their own locks and keys and they should be the only authorized individuals
with access to their keys. No one else should be removing the lock except for the employee who
attached it in the beginning of his/her maintenance work. After the lock is in place, try to start the
machinery/equipment to ensure the right circuit has been disabled. At this time the employee is testing
to ensure the circuit is not live and releasing any stored energy left in the system.
See your supervisor for additional information on “lock out tag out equipment” and proper use. If your
facility has a Building Maintenance Plan, the site-specific lock out tag out procedures can be found in
SECTION 2. For additional clarification, the following checklist is provided and lists the common
questions to ask when performing lock-out/tag-out procedures:
Yes/No Item to be answered

Is the equipment you are working on capable of being turned off?
With the switch in the off or closed position, can you physically place a
lock in to keep it from turning back on?
If the switch can not accept a lock can you disconnect power at the
circuit board?
Make sure the lock you place is your lock issued to you and that you
have the only key.
Did you attempt to turn the equipment on to release all stored energy?
Has normal movement completely stopped?
B-4

D. CONFINED SPACE
The employee must be aware of hazards that he/she is completing as a result of the Building
Maintenance Plan. Inspecting and cleaning the boilers present physical hazards to the employee. A
boiler is commonly referred to as a pressurized vessel. It is also considered a confined space. It is
large enough and so configured that an employee can bodily enter it, has a limited number of entrances
and exits from the space, and was not built for humans to occupy the space. This is a requirement
under federal OSHA, and State (MOSH).
The confined space may hold a build up of toxic gases or pockets where the oxygen level is too low for
a human to be in there. An employee should not be entering into the boilers unless they have had prior
intensive training. Employees who work or enter into confined spaces require special training and
equipment.
If you have any questions as to whether something is a confined space or are unsure of the meaning of
a confined space, please see your supervisor for further information. The following questions are
provided to assist in determining if this applies to a given task:

Is it a confined space?
1) Large enough and so configured that an employee can enter, AND
2) Has limited entry or exit, AND
3) not designed for continuous occupancy?
Does the confined space contain corrosives or hazardous substances
(acids, caustics)
Does the confined space have moving parts and equipment?
Are there areas not being ventilated in the space prior to entry?
Has testing shown that the area is oxygen deficient or has hazardous
concentrations of potential contaminants, or that there is reason to
believe that these conditions exist?
Are hazardous materials or gases being brought into the confined
space by the worker?
Is it probable that portable electrical equipment used inside the area
may not be grounded and insulated?
While in the area, are there decaying vegetation or animal matter
observed?
IF YOU HAVE ANSWERED “YES” TO ANY QUESTION IN THIS SECTION OR SEE A ‘CONFINED
SPACE’ LABEL ON ANY EQUIPMENT OR SPACE, DO NOT GO INTO THE SPACE. CONTACT
YOUR SUPERVISOR IMMEDIATELY AND EXPLAIN THE SITUATION.
B-5

E. RIGHT-TO-KNOW (CILs and MSDSs)-- Access to Information About
Hazardous and Toxic Substances:
The employee has the right to know what type of chemicals they are working with. The employee is
also able to obtain chemical information that would be deemed pertinent information to the individual
(i.e. health risks, health effects, reactivity, etc). Please remember that chemicals are not allowed to be
purchased outright. The chemicals need to be procured. Employees need to purchase chemicals from
the procurement list. This will ensure each chemical has been reviewed for safety and health affects
before it enters the school system.

Is there a list of hazardous substances used in the facility?
Is each container for a hazardous substance (i.e. spray bottles,
temporary bottles) labeled with product identity and warning
information?
Has the employees supervisor reviewed with the employee the
hazards (if any) associated with the product?
Does the employee know what to do if they are exposed to the
hazardous substance?
IF YOU HAVE ANSWERED “NO” TO ANY QUESTION IN THIS SECTION CONTACT YOUR
SUPERVISOR IMMEDIATELY AND EXPLAIN THE SITUATION.
F. WALKING/WORKING SURFACES
The employee must pay particular attention to hazards that are created by other work practices. Places
in the facility that have a high traffic volume of people should be clean on a more frequent schedule.
There is a significant reduction in occupational injuries with walking, working surfaces, and storage that
is kept properly.
The following checklist provides questions to keep in mind while performing your normal duties:

Is the walking surface kept dry and free of debris?
Are spills of liquids cleaned up immediately and appropriately?
Does the facility have storage in a hap-hazard manner?
Are floors and carpets swept and vacuumed on a routine basis?
Are unused portions of service pits covered/protected by a guardrail?
B-6

G. LADDERS
Ladders should be inspected on a frequent basis. If a ladder is found to be defective, the employee
should take the ladder out of service and notify his or her supervisor. A tag should be attached to the
ladder that states “Do Not Use – Danger”
Great care should be taken when placing ladders so that they are not carried or positioned near
overhead power lines. Maintain at least ten-foot distance from over-head lines.
To ensure a safe ladder angle, the 4 to 1rule should always be obeyed. This rule states that the bottom
of a leaning ladder is one foot away from the vertical surface being climbed for every four feet of
working ladder length. Hence, the bottom of a ladder should be three feet from the wall when going up
twelve feet of ladder length. Holding the ladder, placing the bottom of the ladder at one’s feet, and fully
extending one’s arms generally achieves the proper angle.
The ladder should also extend three feet beyond the edge of the top of a wall when using the ladder to
climb to the top of the wall.
H. SANITIZATION PROCEDURES
Due to certain circumstances sanitation of surfaces is recommended to remove noted or potential

microbial contamination. The following are guidelines for ensuring successful results:
• Remove all gross debris using a properly functioning commercial vacuum.

• Prepare a detergent (such as A-125 or A-33) solution according to label instructions. If a strong
degreaser is needed, contact the Division of School Plant Operations for approved products.
• Wash all non-porous surfaces, removing all residue. Removal of residue is very important in
ensuring decontamination and prevention of future contamination.
• Wipe surfaces with clean water.
• Allow surfaces to dry before reassembly (such as ventilation equipment).
B-7

I. TEACHER CHECKLIST (IAQ)
As indoor air quality (IAQ) can be strongly affected by occupant activities, in addition to the Tools For
Schools checklists, building service or teacher staff may use the following checklist to ensure that
conditions that promote poor indoor air quality can be avoided:
INDOOR AIR QUALITY (IAQ)
CLASSROOM CHECKLIST
_____ Keep the wall unit ventilator in the “ON” position.
_____ Keep papers, boxes, and other materials off of the unit ventilator vents.
_____ Keep plants and other organic displays off the unit ventilator or hanging over the unit.
_____ Keep desks, and other furniture at least 3-5 feet away from the front of the
wall unit ventilator
_____ Do not tape papers, posters, laminating material or any other material
including “sticky” back shelves, or folders on the wall unit ventilator
_____Report any deficiencies (odors, noise, excessive temperature variations, leaks, visible mold, etc.)
of the ventilation system (wall unit ventilators, ceiling units, etc) to your Building Service Manager
or Plant Equipment Operator immediately.
_____ Report water-damaged and stained ceiling tiles immediately to your Building Service Manager.
_____ Only food items being used as part of the curriculum should be stored in the classroom and
should be in air-tight containers.
_____ Refer to the MCPS Safety Handbook for information on having animals in the classroom (Section
8-78, page 115).
_____ Sightings of insects and/or rodents should be reported to your Building Service Manager
immediately.

Building Service It is critical that all ventilation 7/30/01 10/30/01
Manager equipment receive regular preventive
maintenance as described in the
building maintenance plan. Those
maintenance activities should be
recorded in the maintenance plan on
individual service record pages.
Building Service Systematically inspect all areas for 7/30/01 10/30/01

Building Staff

Building Staff Be vigilant about reporting problems 7/30/01 10/30/01
with unit ventilators and air handlers to
building services. Unit ventilators and
air handlers need to operate during
times of occupancy.
Building Staff Continue to remove unapproved 7/30/01 10/30/01
products from the building. Refer to
the list of approved products.
Building Staff Keep computers, TVs and furniture 7/30/01 10/30/01
away from thermostats.
Building Staff The success of this IAQ PM program 7/30/01 10/30/01
is not only measured by the air
sampling and observations made
during the assessment, but also the
response from building staff, in
particular, their perception of the
building’s indoor environmental quality.
The questionnaires that the Team
program uses are an important tool
used to measure staff perceptions.
Past response rates to questionnaires
has been poor. We strongly suggest
that the school administration
announce their endorsement of the
program and encourage staff
participation, even if staff commonly
believe there are no IAQ problems.

Alpha ES Return Visit 2 Work Plan 09/27/04
Items to be completed by IAQ Team

1) Verify accuracy and completeness of supply and exhaust equipment information in building
maintenance plan. Special emphasis on electrical information.
2) Record all thermostat temperature settings and air temperatures at stats before work
commences (Pre). After PM work is completed, record stat settings and air temperatures (Post).
3) Before PM cleaning or HVAC work is performed - Record volumetric flow rates of six unit
ventilators at random. Record volumetric flow rates of three restroom ceiling exhausts. Record
volumetric flow rates from all supply and return devices in the main office suite and rooms K1/K2.
4) Provide annual Preventive Maintenance (PM) service to ventilation units: HEPA vacuum interior,
replace filters as needed, repair damaged insulation, evaluate mechanical condition/operation
and cleanliness, complete minor repairs, identify necessary major repairs. Record activities on
individual service record pages for each piece of equipment. Note any cleaning and repair work
completed on equipment. Also indicate total time and parts spent on repair work.
5) Verify roof labels are still legible on ventilation equipment. Re-label if needed.
6) Complete annual PM routines on all exhaust fans.
7) Complete annual PM routine on the air station.
8) The following special projects should be completed by the Team during this visit:
a) During the walkthrough, outdoor air dampers were fully closed in several univents. Verify
proper operation of outdoor air dampers (determine if dampers are designed to close fully
or to a minimum position). If necessary, determine feasible means for modifying univents
to ensure continuous outdoor air supply.
b) Check all condensate drains penetrating exterior walls – extend any drains that are
directing condensate against the walls.
c) Some univent condensate drain pans have been installed without the rear screws,
resulting in poor drainage. Check (and correct) positioning of condensate drain pans in all
univents – pans should be tilted to allow adequate drainage.
Items to be completed by Building Services

1) Continue to systematically inspect all areas for moldy ceiling tiles, sagging and/or broken ceiling
tile grids, missing ceiling tiles, and excessively stained ceiling tiles. Replace moldy ceiling tiles

immediately using guidelines found in the building maintenance plan. Replace missing,
damaged, and stained ceiling tiles (replace water-stained tiles after leaks have been repaired).
2) Remove unapproved products, if found, from the building. Refer to the list of MCPS approved
products.
3) Ensure that secondary containers, such as spray bottles and buckets, are labeled with labels that
include the product name and hazard. Systematically survey all building service areas for
unlabelled secondary containers. Place adequate labels on these items.
4) Continue to be vigilant about regularly scheduled ventilation filter changes for all floor and ceiling
univents and air handlers, and thoroughly implement the cleaning schedule as described in the
building maintenance plan.
Items to be completed by Staff

1) Be vigilant about reporting water leaks and problems with ventilation equipment to building
services. Unit ventilators and air handlers need to operate during times of occupancy.
2) Keep the top and bottom grilles of floor-mounted unit ventilators clear of books, papers, potted
plants, furniture, and other obstructions.
3) Ensure that thermostats are free of obstructions.
4) Refer to the list of approved products prior to bringing items such as cleaning solutions, soaps,
and air fresheners into the building. Remove unapproved products.
